Small world

(posted by Elizma)

I bought a Fisher Price bouncer for Liam on e-Bay yesterday. (I always get excited when I buy something on e-Bay as it feels as if I've won a prize in a competition - well it sort of is, isn't it? ;-))

Anyway, this evening, our next door neighbour stopped Leon as he was arriving home and congratulated him on his purchase. Stumped, he asked how she knew. Her best friend called her from Scotland to double check their address - as she was sure our neighbours lived close to the address they needed to post the bouncer to. Turned out the bouncer was sold to us by her best friend's son - also living in Scotland.

Out of 69 million people in the UK, we buy something on e-Bay from our neighbour's best friend's son who lives in Scotland.
